We are experiencing a wonderful Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, rainstorm this morning. I took the real estate dogs out, Rizzo and Teddy, this morning and now they look like little drenched doggie rats.

They also smell like little wet dogs. In this day and age of all the things we have going on in our country and in our world, I reflect on why I love rainstorms. To me it's God's way of cleansing the atmosphere and our lives! It's time for us to get back to basics, being simple in our lifestyle, and being honest and truthful with ourselves and each other. God's rain storm is doing that for us today and always. Signing off at the lake of the Ozarks this is Donna Joerling from The Joerling Group Real estate company at 314-808-1712 have a blessed day
